I am so excited about the movie version of the musical "RENT" coming out later this month!!
My fiancee got me the movie soundtrack yesterday which has pumped me up even more. I've seen the musical on stage 5 times and will prolly go to see the movie that many too if its good.
Anyone else as excited as I am?

My husband and I are both VERY excited as well! I hope it stays true to the original production. I'm going to see if I can download the soundtrack from Itunes to see how it compares to the original cast recording!

The new movie recording has some noticable differences but it is still EXCELLENT. I was excited to find out that almost the entire movie cast is from the original Broadway cast. The only new actresses are the ones who play Mimi and Joanne. I think that shows right there that they should stay pretty true to the original. I also heard that the Larson family had a big part in helping to make the movie.

Oh I love RENT. I saw it when I was in London. Boy did I cry!!!

I cannot wait to see the movie. I don't think I'll go to the theater because I don't want to cry in public and when I watch it at home I'll have an entire box of kleenex handy.

I want to see the movie but I would absolutely LOVE to see the Broadway play. Glad to hear it's good and now I look forward to seeing it!

Aw, I've never seen Rent. :p I remember it coming to Houston when I was much younger but obviously, I wasn't old enough to go. That being said, I can't wait for the movie...
